The Forbidden Mathematical Handshake

The Forbidden Mathematical Handshake
The ultimate mathematical friendship! Two number types that should NEVER get along - primes (those snooty numbers divisible only by 1 and themselves) and multiples of 3 (the party animals of math) - finding common ground in the number 57! Plot twist: 57 is neither prime NOR a multiple of 3! It's 3×19, so it IS a multiple of 3, but definitely not prime. This is like watching two enemies bond over something that only one of them actually relates to! Mathematical miscommunication at its finest! 🤓

Where's My Unsee Juice? Mathematical Villain Edition
The villain just dropped the most mind-blowing mathematical truth bomb and casually walked away! 🤯 It's true - prime numbers (except 2 and 3) are always exactly one away from multiples of 6. Think about it: 5 is next to 6, 7 is next to 6, 11 is next to 12, 13 is next to 12... The pattern continues forever! This is because any number can be written as 6k, 6k+1, 6k+2, 6k+3, 6k+4, or 6k+5, but 6k, 6k+2, 6k+3, and 6k+4 are always divisible by something, leaving only 6k+1 and 6k+5 as potential primes. Math nerds everywhere are simultaneously impressed and horrified that this villain just revealed one of number theory's elegant secrets before disappearing into the darkness!
